He was a refined gentleman and always treated everyone with honour and respect, said Sadat adding that the departure of Latifur Rahman is an irreplaceable damage for this country.

The BGCCI president also said, “We’ll always appreciate his undoubted leadership, his energy and his positive attitude towards the development of Bangladesh’s economy.”
